Genetics of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To have a better understanding of genetic contributions to the development of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) by reviewing studies on its genetic basis. DATA SOURCES:A comprehensive search of the PubMed literature without restriction on the publication date was carried out using terms "obstructive sleep apnea" and "candidate genes" or "genetics". STUDY SELECTION:Articles were selected if they were an original research paper or meta analysis of the genetic factors of OSAHS. RESULTS:Four intermediate phenotypes were described and several candidate genes that may determine the expression and severity of OSAHS were reviewed. CONCLUSION:Multiple gene-gene interactions occurring in genes that affect obesity, craniofacial structure, ventilator control and asleep-awake pattern may influence the expression of OSAHS in a suitable environment.
